Conor McGregor has risen from the streets of Dublin to become one of the most talked about sporting superstars in recent years.

And throughout his meteoric rise to the top he's always had one special someone by his side - childhood sweetheart Dee Devlin.

Here's everything you need to know about Dee who gave up her own career to support partner's UFC dream.

After one of his many victories in 2015, Dee posted on Twitter: "The Irish are truly the best supporters in the world!"

Her last Instagram post, before Conor's assault charge, was a pic alongside her partner and their young son, as they enjoyed St Patrick's Day celebrations in March this year.

How long has Dee known Conor ?

The childhood sweethearts have been together since long before Conor's UFC stardom.

The fighter admitted he is incredibly thankful to his longtime love for sticking by him through everything for almost a decade.

He said: "My girlfriend worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had essentially absolutely nothing.

"I only had a dream that I was telling her.

"For me to be able to take her out of work, give her everything she's ever wanted and to travel the world with her fills me with pride. It keeps me going."

Conor said Dee keeps him going

When asked about what she thought about McGregor's success, Dee said it was only a matter of time before her partner reached the next level.

She added: "He's always been super confident, we always knew this was going to happen - it was nearly like we were predicting the future.

"It's weird for me to say but we just always knew he was going to get to this level and every few months it just keeps going and going and going and the sky is the limit."

How many children does she have?

Dee gave birth to her first child with Conor in May 2017.

The tot was named Conor Jack McGregor after his famous dad.

When announcing news the pair were expecting. The UFC champion joked he was "crapping his jocks" at the idea of becoming a dad.

Speaking after his victory over Eddie Alvarez, The Notorious said: "I’m gonna be a daddy early next year.

"I’m crapping my jocks. I just don't even know what way to take it."

Dee and Conor arranged a typically extravagant christening for their boy which took place at Luttrellstown Castle, near Dublin - which was also where David and Victoria tied the knot in 1999.

And following McGregor's win against Mendes, Devlin shared a snap with her Instagram followers of what the couple splurged on to celebrate.

Dee still gets nervous watching Conor fight in the ring

Dee is usually found at cage-side supporting her boyfriend, even if she does have to watch between her fingers.

Speaking to Underground MMA, she admitted: "I find I'm more nervous now - the first time I went to see Conor fight there was 50 people in a room, and I thought 'There's no way you can be more nervous than this' but each time it's just getting that more and more nerve-wracking.

"Especially watching someone you care about getting in the ring - it definitely gets me in the gut I have to say."
